If you watch these programs at all it is easy to see. MSNBC has this blond twit and some dude with round glass. No socks on with penny loafers. Does not bother to wear a suit. All they do is fill the screen with their opinions about "the news". FOX has two stuffed shirts in suits with a blond twit in the middle filling the screen with their opinions about "the news". CNN has much the same. I watch the local news. That's enough to turn my stomach. No need to watch the others.
